Traveling through the Dark. By William Stafford, Harper & Row, Publishers, New York, 1962.
 
Poetry
Vintage from the 1960s
 
“Traveling through the Dark” is a poem about coming face to face with death. The speaker is faced with a no-win situation, understanding that moving the dead doe's body out of the road will potentially save other drivers, but also that doing so will kill her unborn fawn.
